I’ve just ordered the first Christmas gift of the year. Finger Beats are going to be a hit in a couple of stockings. Shhhh don’t tell anyone!

Italian Charm
I’m off to NYC next week but a little Italian charm sounds better than NYC charm. A stay on Elba Island is just about as charming as you can get. Elba is very close to Tuscanny. Beaches, scuba diving, biking, Italian food and a garland of virgins. Here’s the Elba Hotel & travel information, which hotel are you booking?

To go with the pancakes
Remember the mini pancakes cut and heated like crack? Well you can’t have pancakes without coffee!
Good things come in small packages?
I like small things. We have a child who likes “tiny” things. smallist is a fun site for all of us. I totally believe you can find better living through smallistry! Smaller is better.

Looking for new music?
I haven’t blogged about music in awhile, possibly because I haven’t had time to look for new music. Well today that’s all changed. I love independent music so Unsigned is the perfect site for me to wander around and discover new musicians. Looking for Hip Hop Artists? How about Folk or Alternative? You name the gender, Unsigned has it. Ever heard of Carol Plunk? I hadn’t, til now. Good stuff!
I can’t wait til their music player launches. I’m also guessing that the cd creator tool is something Michelle and her friends will be interested in. You can make a compilation cd and SELL IT. Now that’s interesting, don’t you think? Both the artist and the producer (that would be YOU) can make money from the compilation. I really love this idea.
Now I’m off to surf for 10 or 12 more artists I might feature in a compilation cd. I want to be ready when the tool launches!

Peeps!
I love Peeps. Well I love the idea of them and their oddness. I’ve even become a fan of their unusual colors and shapes and I don’t mind so much that they no longer just appear at Easter. Well ok I lied, I don’t like that. They should only be available at Easter. But if I think about that too much, I will start to rant. So, back to “I love Peeps,” ok?
The real reason I love peeps is because people do cool things with them. The latest cool thing I have seen is Peeps at the Library. I love libraries!
Have Peeps gone to space? Does anyone know? I mean REALLY gone to space, like in a shuttle with an astronaut (preferably not a deranged female astronaut but whatever…)

Football Forum!
Just in time for the Super Bowl! Check out this nfl message board community. It’s a relatively young community, as far as message board communities go, but it’s very very busy. In fact, I’d be overwhelmed if my personal message board community was this busy!
The Fantasy football folder, general college football folder and general NFL football folder seem to have gotten the most attention but the niche folders certainly aren’t asleep.
I currently live in “gator country” but am originally from South Carolina so this Spurrier thread made me smile. The Gamecocks can keep him, I’m pretty sure the Hurricanes don’t want him. LOL!
Who’s your pick in the Super Bowl? Go talk about it!

Soap Operas and Bon Bons!
I work from home which means I spend my day eating bon bons and watching soaps, right? Wrong. I cannot tell you how long its been since I watched soaps. Probably while living in the Philippines with two small children, no job and very little television to choose from.
I’ve always been a CBS soap opera fan but when living in the Philippines, the soap opera choices were very limited so I started watching General Hospital again. (I had watched it a bit as a teen and then again when I was pregnant with Jenn because my best friend was a GH fan. Ah Luke and Laura, those were the good old days!)
I clicked over to take a peek at the General Hospital Spoilers and I’m heartbroken about what is going to happen to Robin Scorpio! I’m really heart broken that Robin Scorpio is no longer a little girl like when I used to watch. Time flies, sheesh. But even with all of that time passing, I understand what a good many of these spoilers mean. That’s amazing.
Apparently once you’re a soap opera watcher, you’re always a soap opera watcher!

Encyclocentral
I’m mindlessly surving this “encyclopedia” of sites. Why am I doing this? Because it’s mindless and it feels a lot like picking up an encyclopedia and just flipping through the pages. That is something I used to really enjoy doing. That is something I miss about books. It’s good to know you can still do that with Encyclocentral.
I started with Book Publishers and clicked around using the drop down menu. I surfed Pink Mascara on the P page. I surfed zinc, zippers and Zaftique on the Z page. I’m headed off to the A page to see what I can find.
This feels like a good way to start my day.
